Liverpool is interested in joining the Barcelona star in the summer
The British newspaper "Mirror" revealed that there is great interest on the part of Liverpool FC to include the talent and star of Barcelona's first football team, Pedri, in the Mercato next summer.
Pedri, 18, is one of the main pillars of coach Ronald Koeman in Barcelona this season, despite his young age, but he has proven his worth in the midfield of the Catalan giants.
According to the British newspaper, Barcelona wants to immunize Pedri through a new contract with an increase in his annual salary and the value of his penalty clause.
Barcelona is seeking to have the value of the penalty clause in Pedri's contract 350 million pounds sterling in order not to leave and end all speculation about the Spaniard moving to any outside club.
It is worth noting that Pedri had cost Barcelona in the summer of 2020 only 5 million euros, but there are other additional incentives that may increase the price of the deal up to 35 million euros.
- Wijnaldum is unhappy with Liverpool and his future is uncertain
The future of Liverpool's first-team soccer midfielder, Jorginho Wijnaldum, remains unclear even now as his current contract approaches the end of the current season.
Despite his importance, Wijnaldum did not reach an agreement with Liverpool to renew his contract for other years, and therefore, it is possible to leave for free with the interest of more than one club at the head of Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Chelsea.
"Sky Sports" transfer market specialist Faberzio Romano commented on the future of Vinaldom via "SFeatley TV" on Youtube, and said, "So far, there is no agreement between Vinaldom and Barcelona."
- He continued: "The last offer from Liverpool a few months ago was with the same contract and salary that he gets now for 3 years, so Vinaldum was not happy, he is still waiting, so at the moment there is no agreement between the two parties."
- He added: "The player's agents are talking to Barcelona, but he has not signed anything yet, because the final decision depends on Ronald Koeman."
And he continued his remarks: "Koeman wants Vinaldom, but there is also a decision from the Barcelona administration and therefore there are negotiations with the coach, and therefore, the future of Jorginho is suspended and he can change his mind at any moment, whether by staying with Liverpool or moving to any other club."
